"YHOO has a lot that MSFT will never be able to build."

The correct phrase should be "YHOO has a lot of properties that will take MSFT a few years to build and consolidate."

Yet, Yahoo has something MSFT doesn't have!

Yes, those precious search patents held by Inktomi and Overture/Altavista.

A pretty good reason to swallow YHOO.

Now, does it seem "Google will be the big winner if MSFT tries to swallow YHOO"?

I don't think so!
